Mercedes Mone Comments on Her AEW TV Return, Explains Why She Took a Break

During the latest edition of her Mone Mag, AEW star Mercedes Mone commented about her long-awaited return to AEW TV. Mone recently returned to AEW last week, competing in the Owen Hart Tournament. Mone defeated Alex Windsor to advance to the semifinals.

Mone says she feels “better than ever.” Here is what she stated (h/t Fightful):

“I’m back and I feel better than ever.
Almost 6 months away. I’ve never had a break that long that wasn’t due to injury and after 16 years it was the first time I got to truly relax and have no worries.
But one thing I realized during that time away?
I missed wrestling so much.
Especially that AEW.
While I was gone I saw all the rumors.
“Oh she’s pregnant.”
“Oh contract issues.”
“Oh she’s leaving.”
“Oh this.”
“Oh that.”
Oh…
NOTHING.
Can I enjoy my vacation in peace?
Can a woman have a period and be bloated?
Can I enjoy my time off without speculation and rumors?
One thing I also learned is there’s nobody more impatient than wrestling fans.
Y’all are the type of people who look up the ending of a movie before finishing it. You love not being surprised. You love not being present and fully in the moment because you’re so caught up in the fantasy.
But now the wait is over.”

Mercedes Mone will be in action at next week’s Dynamite, where she will face Hazuki in the semifinals of the Owen Hart Tournament.
